Discover
the story behind one of New York City's most iconic buildings, the New
York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Located at 42nd St
and 5th Avenue, the landmark building is the center point of the NYPL
system which includes 88 neighborhood branches and four scholarly
research centers across the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island.

The
non-circulating graduate-level collections were initially formed from
the consolidation of the Astor and Lenox Libraries, and have evolved
into one of the world's preeminent public resources for the study of
human thought, action, and experience -- from anthropology and
archaeology, to religion, sports, world history, and literature.
